and, no, I didn't take the laptop to the delivery room *S* just about though! We're living in the fisher house (ronald mcdonald house 4 military) on base, and dh brought the laptop to the room.... *S* I have several layout ideas ready to be worked on though! *S*
Anyway... I'll post the birth story later because I'm using a hospital computer in the ICU ward to write this now.... William Robert is in the NICU, at first he had trouble breathing, he could breathe on his own, but was working too hard. day 2 of life he was diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect (a samll hole in his heart that should heal itself in time) and Persistant Pulmonary Hypertension (blood pressure in his lungs was too high and made it hard for him to breathe)
I'm happy to report that here are on day 5 of life, and the lung troubles are almost behind us! he's off the CPAP and on a nasal canella... I estimate he'll be off that in a another day or too... all we have to do now is get him to eat from a bottle, and he can go home! He's doing ok with it considering we just introduced it yesterday. He can get about half his feeding through the bottle....
please pray for him that he will get the hang of eating soon, and not take any backward steps! I've got lots more to tell... but this will have to be it for now... puter time is limited and I've got to get back up to the NICU for care time.
Thanks in advance for the prayers!
